In recent years, the performative and visual matrix of her research has led her to the creation of site-specific projects, highlighting the individual perception of spaces that she is called upon and chooses to interpret.
Gabriella Siciliano's language is based on existential concepts that she expresses through a pop aesthetic, generating an ironic short circuit.

MELISSA

MICILLO

He currently lives and works in Naples. Dancer, whose training begins with the study of academic dance, to then change direction and meaning following the meeting, in 2014, with the blue sulphate collective-dance theater company of Naples. It is precisely with the blue sulphate collective that he has the opportunity to take part in site-specific performances and events and in the co-conduction of workshops and projects aimed at schools of different types and levels. His training is extremely varied and ranges from a university and professional course in agricultural sciences and technologies at the University of Naples Federico II to the study and deepening of movement, understood in its broadest sense, through contemporary dance, dance theater , contact improvisation through the practice of yoga and taichi, up to sport climbing. The red thread that connects the multiple practices is, without a doubt, the curiosity and the desire to investigate the possibilities of the movement, through a pprocess of deconstruction and decomposition, such as to sharpen the deep perception of oneself.
